What happens when you connect new and aspiring teachers of color with experienced mentors of color? We call it edification.

In the opening episode of Edifying Together, we celebrate the foundation laid by Arthur Jones II over the past 5 years through his award-winning #EducationReboot series, and as Tamir begins his first year as a new teacher, he welcomes Dr. Richard Warren, Jr, who will be a regular guest.

In this initial conversation, recorded before the start of the school year, aspiring educator Tamir gets his first chance to interact with Richard H. Warren Jr, Ed.D, who was honored as the 2019 Maryland Teacher of the Year and now serves as a professor of education at University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
